Macbeth fails to leave the murder weapon in the room where Duncan's body lies. He was supposed to kill Duncan with the daggers belonging to Duncan's chamberlains, smear Duncan's blood all over these servants, and then leave the daggers there so it would look like the grooms actually committed the murder.

In his panic and fear, however, Macbeth brought the daggers from the room and then refused to return them; Lady Macbeth must do it herself.
As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...
